CAN TEXT MESSAGES AND EMAILS BE USED

AS EVIDENCE IN FAMILY LAW CASES?

Things have changed drastically with the evolution of communication. Now text messages, emails and other electronic forms of communication are acceptable forms of evidence in court.

However, before you start saving pages and pages of incriminating text messages from your soon-to-be-ex, make sure that the context of these messages really ARE evidence that make an impact in your case and not just the typical emotionally-charged texts that frequently take place between people going through a divorce. For example... click HERE to read the article.

DIVORCE SENSE, LLC VISITS ADLG

Mike and Lauren from Divorce Sense met with our team to update us on upcoming tax changes, and some creative financial strategies for clients going through divorce. Their services are useful in cases where there are complex financial issues, significant assets or an obvious imbalance of the financial knowledge between the two divorcing parties. Divorce Sense's expertise complements our legal teams, to be fully prepared for the divorce settlement process, every client needs a good attorney, so that they are fully informed of their legal options, and a good financial professional, so that they fully understand their financial situation and how it impacts the future. Divorce lawyers specialize in the law, not in finance, so unique financial circumstances call for a uniquely qualified financial professional. And that's why we recommend Divorce Sense to many of our clients. Click HERE to visit their website.

ADLG PRESENTS AT NORTH FULTON

CHAMBER MEETING

Our Client Relations Coordinator & Director, Stephanie and Holly were invited to speak at the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce last week. Click HERE to see this brief presentation and learn what Atlanta Divorce Law Group can do for you!

DOING OUR PART THIS SEASON

ADLG worked with North Fulton Community Charities to donate unwrapped toys and gifts for their Santa Shop program for needy children.

We are so thankful for the support our communities give us throughout the year, and our staff was over-joyed to give something back.

It's what the holidays are all about.

We donated more toys to the Shop with a Cop program in Cherokee County, where our Client Relations Coordinator volunteered to work with officers to help the children shop for exactly what they wanted to see under their tree this year.
